This chart should not be relied upon for an indication of species status as variations in recording effort can heavily affect the count of occurrences and occupied 1km squares.

Threatened species recovery actions

Actions from Threatened Species Recovery Actions 2025 Baseline published by Natural England.

Habitat management

Depending on the results of the autecological study and site management reviews, restore long-term dynamic coastal processes and thus suitable substrates and conditions at coastal locations. This could entail the excavation of new coastal lagoons and the beneficial use of sediments for beach recharge to increase the extent of beach habitats.

Habitat management

Increase the availability of shore-line vegetation litter reducing beach-cleaning activities where these are present.

Scientific research

Review historical and current management at existing locations and undertake literature reviews to characterise the range of micro-habitats within which it is found, in particular the openness and extent of sand or shingle substrates in coastal habitats. The reviews should help identify the management requirements of optimal habitats, as well as the pressures which might result in further declines, especially the deterioration/loss of saline lagoons and beach habitats caused by sea level rise, coastal erosion and beach cleaning.
